The first thing I said right when this video played was, "OH MY GOD!" Sir, I LOVE your bassoon!!!

This is lovely, world-class playing - a wonderful approach to what the master wanted. And as usual I learn so much about music from those playing a different instrument than I do. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing musicianship with all of us!

This is exactly this passage played with the bassoon that made me love classical music. At the very moment I thought that I had had never heared anything so beautiful ; Sheherazade was an epihany for me. Thank you for playing and explaining this wonderful passage. The bassoon is a magical instrument.

That bassoon is beautiful. O.o I'm an Oboe player and I love double reed instruments.

This is a wonderful masterclass, really displaying the depth of detail required to be a truly fine player! Having had the pleasure of playing 2nd to Mr. Paulson once in concert I can say that his playing extremely sensitive and well-thought out. The instrument is a Fox 601- John Miller, Bob Williams, and Per Hannevold also play on Gold Plate 601's. The black and gold combo is purely aesthetic.

Actually it does,I'm not entirely sure if its the same for woodwind but i know with brass instruments it makes an immense difference in sound quality.

@Littlebocco It in fact IS a Fox (a 601, I believe, though it could also be a 660), with optional black finish and gold plating.

Gold has no effect on the sound of the bassoon, except when in use in the bocal. This is simply a finish used for people with higher pH's in their sweat.

@Littlebocco and just fyi, there are many excellent brands of bassoon other than Fox and Heckel...many professional players also play Puchners, Moosmanns, Wolf, Ben Bell's bassoons, and Yamahas.

The ironic thing about this comment is that Steve Paulson is now playing on Legere Synthetic reeds which are a better/more sophisticated version of plastic reeds. Check out the Miller Marketing website, and there's actually an endorsement for them by him.

I heard him play that in 2022 or 2023-absolutely incredible phrasing, shading adding so much musicality! Never mind the technique to play what everyone knows is coming in front of 5000 people-it was just amazing. He was my Conservatory teacher back in the early 80s and I learned so much from him.

well, I'm not an expert but surely the kind of metal may make the difference... you know, depending on the way it vibrates o produce sound... but I don't really know... but if the only reason is to make it to look good, it does totally make it look elegant
@schwei5615 жыл бұрын
Yes, very difficult to play beautifully, but easy to play bad. A great sounding, responsive Heckel, however, makes you want to play well, and it helps - a - lot!

I never said it was... nor did I say I was playing at a professional level. I was able to go through the entire Weissenborn method from beginning to advanced within that 6 month period - practicing 2 to 3 hours a day. Also I had to audition in order to get in it wasnt that easy

this is true. granted, it's not as if those bassoonists who ARE in the honor bands aren't talented, but honor bands are not to be a measure of talent by any means. i don't believe seating in ANY sort of nonprofessional ensemble setting for double reed players is a fair indicator of talent.

The Bassoon is not a difficult instrument to learn. I started when I was a senior in HS, and 6 months later, I was playing in the Honor band - a good teacher is a must - learning how to breathe properly, etc is very important. What is difficult is to find good consistent quality reeds. These days it's pretty easy because of the internet, but 20 years ago, it was pretty difficult unless you had a teacher making them for you - store bought reeds were horrible.

I don't know about you guys, but I like the bassoon that he used in the Stravinsky performances (Rite of Spring and Firebird) better than this one. Doesn't really resonate as much as this one. Of course that may be because of Davies Symphony's Hall's echo capacities.

Yeah, he is notorious in the bassoon world for being overrated, snobby, and rude. Lots of people don't like him and don't want to study with him. My one lesson with him was before my audition for SFC and I didn't even go to my audition. He spent the whole lesson screaming at me and wouldn't tell me what he thought I was doing wrong, he just kept yelling at me to make it sound better. And then at the end of the lesson he had the nerve to try to sell me a bassoon.

If you cannot play good on a bassoon worth 9000 dollars, then nothing can help you. Besides, the bocal and the reed is much more important than the instrument itself.
